I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how crazy God is about people your momma wouldn’t want you to hang out with. (She also wouldn’t want you to end your sentences with prepositions, so take that, Mom!) People who lie and cheat and steal. People who corrupt. People who kill. God loves the misfits, the rejects, the criminals, the honest to goodness lawbreakers, if they can possibly be described as either honest or good. You know, the people your parents caution you to avoid.

12 Tips from a Professor
It’s spring break, which means your mind is prone to wander everywhere except where it should be academically. And so we offer some mid-semester school- and professor-related resolutions for you to consider… straight from someone who sits on the other side of the desk now.
12. Do your best to be on time. If you can’t be on time, come in quietly, and don’t have an ice cream cone in your hand.
11. Pay attention to the syllabus. No, really; it has the information you need to know about your assignments, grades, professor’s office hours and contact information, etc.
10. Put away your phone and log off of Facebook. You can’t multitask as well as you think you can. Even if you could, you’d still be cheating yourself out of a complete classroom experience.

12 Reasons to Pray
Why should we pray? What’s the point? We’ll give you 12!
1. To know God and grow in a relationship with Him.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14
2. To obey God
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer
and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6
